It is true love when you love one
Whose freedom you don't interfere.

Terminates with mere courtship
Like jasmine flowers sans seeding.

Two heroes will love one heroine, but
One heroine will not love two heroes.
Two heroines will love one hero, but
One hero will not love two heroines.

Of seeds sown in the field.
To earn love and affection
From the people chosen,

Is giving good or receiving?
Is giver noble or receiver?

In giving, ego gets a boost
